Summary

Through the words of seventeen former New York Yankees and one Yankee wife, New York Times bestselling writer Bill Madden conjures up eighty years of baseball history and pays tribute to the winningest team in sports history. These are the most thrilling, heroic, and poignant stories of Yankee favorites -- colorful characters both on and off the field. Here Whitey Ford reflects on his pitching roots in Astoria, Queens...Don Mattingly tells why he walked away from the Bronx to be a father in Indiana...Bobby Richardson, the player-turned-preacher, recalls how he ministered to Mickey Mantle at his deathbed...Jerry Coleman relives the dramatic weekend sweep of the Red Sox that won the '49 pennant...Phil Rizzuto describes the end of Joe DiMaggio's hitting streak...Reggie Jackson paints portraits of Billy Martin, Thurman Munson, and George Steinbrenner that are more personal than any we have seen before. Filled with unforgettable moments in baseball history, Pride of October joyously captures the glory of the game...and the spirit of the team that has played it best. Book jacket.
